Mark 10:27

"Looking at them, Jesus said, "With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God." (NASB)

STRONGS HEBREW/GREEK ORIGINS

"Looking at them, Jesus said, "With people it is impossible (adunatos: impotent, could not do, weak, without strength, powerless, weakly, disabled), but not with God; for all things are possible with God (dunatos: able, powerful, mighty, strong, mighty, excelling in something, having power for something)."

SUMMARY

Looking at them, Jesus said, “People are too weak and powerless, but not God; for God is powerful, strong and mighty to do all things.”

MEDITATION

Again we have a verse that has been thrown around so much that it seems no one really pays attention to what it’s saying. We could simplify this greatly without really altering the point of this text by saying, “God has all of the power to do anything and we don’t.” God is all powerful, He is all-knowing, He is holding all things together with one word from His mouth. So walk confidently today that God, your God, cannot be shaken or thrown off by anything that you approach Him with. How grand are your dreams? How vast are your expectations? If they’re rooted in eternal matters, believe that God is powerful and able to bring them to pass.

Praise God for this scripture in it's fullness, Joel. And He lives in us and we in Him. Whoa.........how wonderful is that. He calms the storms, and feeds us with His manna. Jesus the bread of life. Life in God is wonderful, exciting, refreshing and full. Thank you God for Your Plan. "Thy kingdom come,Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."Kay

Who runs this thing?

I'm pretty much your average 44 year old guy that now lives in the beautiful mountains of Southwestern Virginia. I love being a daddy and a husband. I live to be continually conformed into the image of Christ and believe that I exist to bring Heaven down to the earth. I love to challenge what you believe - not so that I can prove that either of us are right or wrong, but to get you to know why you believe what you do.
I'm not into conferences, glory meetings or hyped up Christianity. Nor am I stagnant and zombie-fied in ignorance and spiritual depravity while snoring in a church pew. Are these our only two options? Who will mature in Christ and seek to be conformed to His image above all else?
I used to write.... ALOT. I started two books that have been temporarily "shelved" until some spare time returns.
I long for Christ's sleeping church to awaken and share this whenever I can. I believe and personally know that God speaks to people today. Will you heed His voice?
